Drafting for length and detail:
Current word count is low. I need to expand using only the provided facts to reach the 180-260 range.
Wait, I must be careful. The prompt says "Write a 180-260 word career overview". If the sources don't provide enough information to reach 180 words without inventing facts, I have a conflict.
Let's re-examine the sources.
Credits: 12 (Source 1)
Known for: The World's Fastest Indian (2005), The Lost Pearl (2016), The Umbrella Man (2015), Abandoned, River Queen, Mahana.
Total unique titles mentioned: 6.
Total credits mentioned: 12.
Constraint Check: "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
If I cannot reach 180 words without guessing, I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" rule. However, usually, in these prompts, the user expects the length to be met. But if the source material is sparse, I cannot fulfill both "180-260 words" and "ONLY verifiable facts" if the facts don't add up to 180 words.
Let's try to expand the prose stylistically while staying strictly to the facts.
